Yes you are. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Administer_with_sudo#Setting_group_access > On my distro, users cannot install or update anything that requires root, > they will always get a sudo prompt.

Intentional behaviour. > What I’m requesting is just a Discover feature: > The ability to hide or mask certain repo from the Discover UI on a per-user > basis, without removing them from the system. No. System repos apply to the system, they apply to ALL users by design. User repos apply only to the user that configured it. Therefore, user repos don't need to be masked. > I'm not even asking for a tool to automatically do it for every user.

There is no need to mask them. You just need to stop users installing software from system repos. Read this and change user permissions accordingly. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/flatpak-non-sudo-install-still-installing-as-system/137019/3 > What I want is to: > > 1.

Drastically reduce the amound of root prompt those users will be able to > see. Users may still see password prompts if they install, For example, 18+ rated games, even from user repositores. > 3. Leave the actual packageKit and system-flatpak repo untouched No problem. Revoke user permissions as per the Fedora discussion link. > I managed to basically get the same results by removing packageKit and > system-flatpak repo, which is a convoluted solution for multi-user systems Unecessary. Please understand I will not be replying again. It is your job as the administrator to choose who can Install what software. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
